Our odds have shortened considerably from $1.50 to $1.41. 

The more interesting thing is that we are paying just $4.10 for a 40+ point win vs the swans $14.00. That is a huge discrepancy. Punters seem pretty confident..

Demonlanders upon hearing:

  1. Jacko has signed up for the next 300 games,
  2. Buddy kicks 1.7 tonight and South loose by five points, and
  3. Grundy to play for Essendon and they pay all of his current salary.

I was at the G the last time Melb played Sydney in a final , lets hope for a similar result:

1987 Melb 21 23 149 to Syd 10 13 73

 

What a day. I remember it rained nearly the whole game, but Melbourne handled the ball like a dry day. Great memories. I remember shouting at Healy, that he should have stayed a Demon. (Not that he could hear me of course)

That is a fair question Red. However, I cannot put any alcoholic beverages anywhere near the dogs.

For some reason they both have drinking problems.

Very understandable.

Ladbrokes have had us $1.46 to $2.75 all week. $4.10 for over 40 and $51 the draw. not sure how the draw works.

In the mid year game didn't they kick something like 7+ goals from turnovers to our hand full of points?  iirc most of those turnovers were from kickins or around the middle of the ground.

They didn't tag Langdon but cut off supply to him from our turnovers and we just couldn't get our overlap ball movement going.  Brayshaw in the midfield and roaming between the arcs should help that.

When we did get it forward we kicked high and their defenders took a trillion marks.  And they had a massive mismatch of Paddy McCartin on Kozzie who just peeled off.  Max playing forward will be a big improvement on Mitch Brown forward.

That would have been one of our worst game this year.  Longmire may have some new tricks up his sleeve but this will be a very different game!

Dees by 10 nerve racking points.

Paul Roos biggest ever loss as Sydney coach was at the MCG against Melbourne. 

Last time we played them Sydney just tackled the man all night. they were ferocious about it but we were off. We also were going though that relaxing after opening up the game faze.

That and our #1 KPD was out injured. It won’t be their tall forwards well need to worry about tonight

I flew in from Adelaide yesterday for the big match at the G. Last year I was fortunate enough to go to all 3 finals match’s due to living in South Australia. The journey was fantastic and I want it to be repeated this year at the G. I’m meeting up with a fellow Demonlander at The Tippler & Co for a pregame meal and  a few wine’s. Let’s win the premiership  in 3 thumping victories. Today win by 30+ points.

Sounds like there'll be a few 'landers there tonight based on what I've read on this thread. I hope they still have that dark ale on tap I've had on my last two visits.

In that sense, where May directs his kick-ins may well have an impact on our fortunes. We need another tall to roam/occupy the field elsewhere from Max's pozzy, supported by a small or two who are quick off the mark for Fwd line entries.

In the last month we have changed our kickins and occassionally switch.  With Salem back we sometimes kick short to him which starts our ball movement chain deeper.  Both tactics neutralise the opp talls parked under the ball for May's long kickins to the boundary.  Longmire is very smart and he will have noticed those so I doubt he will try and park talls at the drop of the ball so much tonight.  We have more strings to 'get out of our d50' bow now which should keep Longmire on his toes a bit.

Has FTB gotten extremely drunk last night? Yes he did.

Is FTB suffering from a morbid hangover in the office this morning? Yes he is.

Is FTB wearing his scarf and Melbourne gear in the office? Of course he is.

Will FTB get extremely drunk tonight? Yes he will.

Will FTB barrack the loudest he ever has for this football club. YES HE [censored] WILL.

Hope we have a particularly loud and feral (by Melbourne standards) fan base tonight, suspect there will be close to 55K of us tonight.

Does In Harmes Way like this post? Yes he does.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
